Yes, this is why journalists like Ann Coulter are so valuable: She has mastered the art of satire and ridicule, and turned it back on its chief purveyors. She even takes occassional jabs at the weak spots in the conservative position, pointing to ways of eliminating theme.

A lot more people like her are needed. Where will they come from?

When you adopt the enemy's tactics, you become the enemy.

Alinsky was wrong asserting that we cannot follow our own rules. When Jesus told the woman, "Go and sin no more," he was not giving her an impossible task, but one open to any moral-minded adult.

Alinsky missed the power of moral example because he taught immoral methods. Yet advocacy of true moral principles, and exemplifying them by doing the right thing at whatever personal cost, shine out to the human soul in a way that the enemy's threats, guilt-mongering and intimidation never will.

Those who must cheat to win political points succeed mostly in blotting out their souls. In the long run, they cannot even enjoy their spoils.

In contrast, those who keep the faith and act with good conscience are the winners despite any political outcome whatsoever. But the paradox is, they will change even the darkest politics for the better, by the force of their moral example.

From the article:

There were no Republican lawyers or authorities around to inform election officials that it was against the law for the Democrats to be running their campaign from a polling place.

Excuse me but shouldn't the election 'officials' know that it was against the law without Republican lawyers having to tell them. It sounds to me like they were either deliberately complicit in the illegal activities or just plain incompetent at doing their jobs.

Good article and true too... the only question..
What does it take to really piss a republican off ?..
Evidently its quite impossible.. When you are drugged with an industrial strengh optimism.. Kind of like Alice in her Wonderland clinging to ToTo as a piece of the past.. republicans are..

This is an excellent posting. FReepers should get a copy of Saul Linsky's "Rules for Radicals." He has a diabolical list of advice for activists. One is to get involved in the most local of political activities, such as Neighborhood Watch Associations, or the PTA at school, present yourself as one of the concerned about the Left's activities, voice the same concerns but gradually ask 'innocent' questions, express 'perplexity', and gradually nudge people's opinions in the directions you want.

It's a clever book, utterly contemptuous of ordinary Americans. Every conservative needs to read it, study it, learn to recognize what's going on around us.

You should all read "Rules for Radicals" and you will recognize each Dem strategy as it is brought into play.

There is a chapter in the book on "How to steal a Close Election" - It is the EXACT playbook used in Florida, read it and you will see for yourself.

This is fantastic! I knew about the Alinsky link with the Clinton's, especially Hillary, but the problem here is that the media also apply his rules. Blaming republicans for not reacting is not quite fair when you consider that they can't get the message out there when the media covers up for the scheming lawbreaking socialists! (True, many times the Pubbies do just roll over, but that isn't the whole story is my point!)

For instance, the attempted coup of the election was done right before our eyes on national television. We all saw it, we all knew that Al Gore was trying to steal this election. The media pretended this was legitimate, and they and they alone were the reason he got away with this. Had Bush done this, they would have crucified him and he would have had to give up. Now they all just repeat the lie that the Supreme Court gave the election to Bush, not that it ruled what Gore was attempting to do unconstitutional!

Still, this is a keeper, and I am so glad you posted this. We are up against evil, and we have to do all we can this election cycle to stop them from hijacking the election again, because believe me, they are already planning their illegal tactics! We must STOP them!!

This is too long, but I am so passionate on this subject, because I see the potential for these radicals to take over this country, and I hope we are all prepared for the fight of our lives!

hope, after reading this late last night, I did as the article suggested and googled Alinsky, and I was amazed at the articles that showed up. I printed out several things and this is much more wide spread than I thought. Anyone who wants to see democrats in action can just do this and I am sure you will be as amazed as I was to see how this has taken over our school system as well as government.

Wow.

After reading this old article/post and seeing how the Alinsky principles have been used to the max by the Dems, it is sobering to see how many Republican politicians have fallen for the tactics of the left.

It has become apparent that the Republicans have neglected to know their enemy. I shudder to think where this country will be in another five years.
